The Differing in Testi-
m0Dy.
How Witnesses Test!fy In
Contradiction.

At the last term of Court two
! cases were tried in which Was ex-
emp!ified the old story, don't be-
ileve thing you hear" because
witnesses in opposing cases. tusti-
fed to opposite understanding Of
facts.
The embarrassment of Court and
jury can be bestappreciated IN max
ing decis lions, by a statement of
the cases.
A man named Dussart, of South
Perry, brought suit against a man
named Chalmers. claiming that he
(BussarD) had loaned Chalmers
$4,000.
Bnssart swore positively that he
had loaned the money. Chalmers
swore that he had never got it.
Other testimony corroborative OH
both sides was given. and the Jury
after nearly week worrying with
the case decided that Enssart did
not lend the money. Following
this Bnssart was charged with per
Jury and bound over 10 the next
Grand Jury IN the sum of $4,000.
The other case of "contradicting
testimony" was that of Lewis Green
against A. II, Wilson. Green sued
Wilson on tho claim of having paid
as security for Wilson's house rent
to John Hansen. tho sum of $27i. :
90. And also paid a note in First
Bank as security for Wilson of $40.
90. Tho question Of judgment for
house rent was not disputed. The
note in bank was made an ISSUE
Mr.. Wilson testified that he,
never got cent of the
money. That The loan was for
GIeen and that Green got the mon
ey. Green testified that he went
on the note as Wilson's security,
and when tin.liy the note was sued
by the bank he paid 1t to Squire
Brehm. insisting that it was paid
as surety. Wilson testified that
he made the note at Green's request
so that Green would not be known
as the borrower in bank. Green
showed by his bank account that he
had over $4,000 in hank subject to
check at that me Mr. Bowen,
cashier of the bank testified that
Wilson got the money on the .te,
that on several occasions he agreed
to pay it as soon as he could get
money from certain expectations
named.
The Court decided that Wilson
was indebted to Green as his secEr.
ity for house rent paid 10y Green In
the sum of s2I4.71, and also as his
security in bank paid by Green in
The sum of 5f.5S.
Will Price appeared for Green.
Col. Weldy for wilson. The case
was submitted without argument.
Thus it say lc seen how it may
be that testimony ls contradictory,
and the difficulty the Judge or the
Jury may have in getting at the
real facts in case.

viii Raise the Rates.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-The general man
ayers of the western freight association
lines to-day partly agreed upon IN ad-
vance in through rates between Council
Bluffs and Chicago. Unless the a
ayers reconsider their action tariff rates
after April | will be about as follows;
East bound wheat Omaha to Chicago, rs
cents a hundred; corn,. % cents; live
stock per car, $40 (the old rate is $45);
hogs. 500; packing house products, 5
cents a hundred above Kansas City rates.
On classes covering merchandise, Council
Bluffs and Kansas City rates will about
correspond. In the Northwest an at
tempt will be made to advance all rates,
except -four and grain, from 5 to 10 cents
a hundred, although at least one of the
roads is opposed to any increase on the
ground hat it is called upon to hurt Its
own business to protect Others. An
other session will be held tomorrow.
The trans continental managers meet
ing was again in session to-day, but dis
discussion on the Interstate law was gen
eral in character, all present being tacitl7
agreed that no steps could be taken by
trans-continental roads to meet the law
until what the managers call relief is
obtained from the commission.

ing to A. X. Cutting.

FOREIGN FLASHES.

The Berlin reichstag has been sum
moned to meet on March 3.
The London stock markets are very
firm on the results of the German cleo
ton.
Paris newspapers are very jubilant over
the German election; they say hat Ger
many is not able to obtain the hearts Of
the annexed province.
French and German government agents
are visiting all the fairs in the north of
England, making large purchases Of horses
suitable for military purposes.
The National Zeitung, of Berlin. com
menting on the election, says foreigners
will now see how mistaken they were in
regarding the vote on tn. army bill as
expressing German public opinion.

Democratic Impartiallty.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The president
to-day vetoed the following bills: Grant
ing a pension to Anthony Robertson; for
the relief Of VIM. H. Morphiser; ~incrcas-
ing the pension of Margaret R. Jones;
and increasing the pension of Lorew
Burritt.
The beneficiary in the hast named bill
was a lieutenant colonel of the Sth regular
United States colored troops and he is
now receiving a pension Of s72 per month.
In withholding his approval in this case,
the president says: THE condition of
this claimant at this time is most pitable.
No man can check, ifhe would, the feel
ing of sympathy and pity aroused by the
contemplation Of utter helplessness as a
result of patriotic military service. But
in the midst of all this | cannot put out of
mind soldiers in this condition who were
privates in the ranks, who sustained the
utmost hardships of war, but who, be-
aus they were privates and in the humb-
lest walks of life, are not so apt to share
in the special favors of congressional ac-
ton. | find no reason why this bcnef-
ciary should be singled out from his class,
except it be that he was a lieutenant
colonel instead OF a private. | Am aware
of a precedent for the legislation proposed
which is furnished by an enactment ofthe
last session of congress, to which | assem-
ted, as | think, improvidently; but | am
certain that exact equality and fairness in
the treatment of our veterans Is, after all,
more just, benefcent and useful than I'M
fair discrimination in favor of officers or
of special benefit born of sympathy in in
| diyidnal cases.

The Earthquakes.

ROME, Feb. 23.-The earthquakes this
morning, devastated the whole Of the
Italian Riviera at Noli, on the gulf of
Genoa, and not far from Savona several
houses fell, and forty-fve persons were
killed and thirty injured at Onegli, also at
the gulf Of Genoa. AT Dianomarino,
near Onegli, scores of people were killed
and hundreds injured. Fully one-third of
the town was destroyed.
NICE, Feb. 23.-Although the earth
quake was much less severe in France
than in Italy. the panic here Is excessive.
The streets are filled with people carrying
bedding. The visitors deserted the ho-
tells, sitting in long rows Of chairs in the
streets. The bell of st. Augustine's
church, Nice, fell. Horses became rest
less and refused to move for hours before
the event.
Further details from Riviera increases
the disaster. At Cervo, near Dianoma-
rino. 300 persons were killed by being
buried in the ruins of falling buildings.
Railway l%trafic is suspended beyond Sa.
vona.
Two sharp shocks were felt at Corsica.
1t is reported that several persons were
killed at Mentone, where st. Michaels
church was badly damaged and the post
Office wrecked. An inmate OF the con-
vent Of the Holy Sacrement died from
fright
At Leghorn the earthquake had a
strong undulatory movement accompan-
led by underground rumblings that lasted
twelve seconds. At Genoa, Turin and
Milan the effects were similar. At Luci
the shock lasted forty seconds. At Genoa
it lasted one minute, creating great ex-
element. AtSavona eight persons were
killed and fifteen others injured. I'M
mems damage was done to property.
PARIS, Feb, 22.-Slight shocks were
felt..at Wines, Prievas, Valence, Grenoble
and Licens. The Gen. D'Armerie bar
racks at Cologne collapsed. Several per
sons we're killed and injured. Business
is suspended almost everywhere.
BERLIN, Feb. 23.-Some papers here
call attention to the fact that several days
ago was published a statement Of the an
nular eclipse of the sun, visible in the
southern hemisphere, which would be ac-
companied by extremely strong seismic
phenomena, owing to the coincident in
.fluence of the sun and moor on the
earth.

House.,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Mr. Dingley,
of Maine, presented memorials of the
Maine legislation in favor of legislation
to protect American fisheries and for the
passage of the pleuro pneumonia bill
Mr.. Belmont. of New York, from the
committee on foreign affairs, reported a
substitute bill for the senate retaliation
bill and under special order asked for its
immediate consideration. It was finally
determined the debate should be limited
to three hours. Mr.. Belmont opened the
debate by dwelling Upon the Importance
OF the subject of which the house was now
asked to act. The question of fisheries
was one that had engaged the attention of
the government from its foundation, and
though from time to time temporary ar
rangements had settled it, it had now
reached a point when it again demanded
the serious consideration of the country.
1t was not a mere commercial question
simply affecting restriction on American
fishermen. The important question was
whether the United States was willing to
acquiesce in repeated violation of the
treaty.
The senate bill was not a party bill. but
had been passed after a careful considera-
ton and able discussion by the votes of
senators on both sides of the chamber.
Something must be done to protect our
national honor. During the past year
one hundred of our vessels had been sub.
jected to search and some of them to
seizure by the Canadian authorities fol-
touching at Canadian ports Tor the pur.
poses of trade. 1t was a very vital ques-
ton to the American government whether
any Canadian officer possessed such right
of search and seizure. 1t was important
that there should be a power somewhere
to protect American honor when affected
in so vital a point as this. The senat,
bill provided an effective remedy. L
Great Britain shut out our ships W,
would shut out her fish.
Mr.. Dingley, of Maine, moved t.
amend the substitute by the addition of
section rendering liable to seizure and for
fixture any vessel of foreign ~nationalit,
found engaged in taking fish OF any kin,
within three marine miles of any marin
coasts, bays, creeks or harbors of tn
United States, within the sea, lake o
river waters OF the United States. Agree
TO.
The substitute was her agreed to-yca
80, nays l33-and the senate bill as thu
amended'was passed-yeas 252, nays !
(Mr. Dougherty).
Mr.. Breckenridge, OF Arkansas, sui
mitted a conference report on the bi
making CLOSE season for mackerel, an
it was agreed to.
The house then adjourned.
